England has 200 men each worth
over $3,000,000.
Two thousand patents have bocn
taken out in this country on tho man
ufacture of paper alono.
Greater New York, with 317 squaro
miles of territory, would bo throe
times as lig as London an twelve times

In tho past seven years tho German
production of boot sugar has doublod,
whilo the homo consumption has only
ucroasod one-third during the eamo
period.
A few years' ago the Chinese cabinet
advised tho conquest of Jupan to stop
the spread of western civilization.
It ssotus tho plan was put oft" a liltlo
too long.
The Now York World observes:
Tho courts iu Brooklyn are trying tho
efficacy of 823,000 verdicts fordamngo
when a trolloy oar kills a person. Wo
predict that tho death rate from this
causo will be greutly reduced.
Good apples are said to bo dearer
than eggs in tho Now York market.
Tho reason is that most of tho good
ones havo been exported to Euglund,
where tho demand for American ap
ples has boon unprecedented during
the past season.
Chitral, in tho region of Upper In
dia, the inhabitants of which the Brit
ish are now attempting to punish and,
perhaps subjugate, wos, until tho on
tranoo of tho British Army, entirely
without commerce and without money.
Tho people accepted tho rupees given
thorn by tho British officers for tho
performance of petty services, ostootu
ing thorn highly as ornaments; but
they mado serious objections to receiv
ing too many of them as their use of
ornaments was limited.
A shaft into tho earth is proposed
by M. Toschal Gronssct as tho sensa
tion for tho Taris Exposition of 1900.
His plnn is an inversion of the idea of
tho Eiffel tower. Elevators will carry
tho publio down tho shaft: at inter-
vhJs there will bo restaurants and con
cert rooms, decorated so as to har
monize with tho temperature, which
will increase with tho depth, as far as
2100 feet below tho surface. Beyond
that point, as tho heat will bo too great
for comfort, a nurrowcr shaft is to be
drivon for scientific purposes only to
a depth greater than has ever yet been
obtained, possibly 5000 feet.
It is a question whether the Semi
Dole war is over yet or not. Tho Secre
tory of tho Interior has asked the
Secretary of War to tell him, ns it in
volves a question of the Semiuolo
lauds. Most of tho "people who fought
in tho war aro dead long ago. Secre
tary Lamont replying to the com
muuication from Secretary Smith in
formed him that tho first Semiuolo
war in Florida, from 1830 to 1842,
was officially auuouuced as closed
August 14, 1812, and that tho seooud
Florida Semiuolo war began December
20, 1835, eud was officially declared
closed on May 8, 1858.
When the great Suit Fond of Block
Island has been connected with tho
ocean by tho ship channel that is now
being dug, it will becomo an impor
tant roadstead for the luugost ships.
It is perfectly land-lockod, and covers
1200 acres, of which 800 are navigable,
tho depth ranging from fifteen to sixty
Xeot. Tho New York Tribune thinks
tho value of such a refuge, situated as
it is eo near Gurdiner's Bay, Long
Inland Sound and New York City, must
be of considerable consequence from
a naval point of view ; it would surely
be worth holding by au enemy preying
on our coasts, especially by a lloet of
warships operating aguiust Now York
City. Tho possibilities aro interest
ing. Mux Nordau, a German investigator,
bus published a work entitled "De
generation," which is sturtliog Eu
rope. Ho seeks to demonstrate thut
the brain of man has been put under
a suicidal Btruiu by tho enormous in
crease of activity iu the lust llfty
years, and that it has produoud in tho
upper 10,000 of every greut city a
race of "degenerated," thut is, meu
who, though perhaps brilliant ineu
tully, uro physically and hereditarily
ou thedown grade, uud who are bound
in a generation or two to perish
through partiul iusunity uud sterility.
Iu direussiug this overpressure ho
cites th, immense increase of muil

relief ho found thoskiff with skulls ly

nainter he stunnn.l almm-.i ;i. .
chuckle of remorse when ho fancied
mo owner s arrival later to liud tho
boat gono.
Bowing alono through the damp
darkness of that autumn night was
not inspiring; but ho realized with
ileligut tho great pace from tho light
swiftness with which the skulls came
to him through the water, and from
the ponderous, silent sliding by of the
black banks.
His course lay ueurly due south.
There was something in the mannor
of tho ghostly banks, and in tho hur
ried whispering of tho water at his
bow, which told him he should not
reach home before the storm broke.
"In a lew minutes tho gale will
break," said Laugley to himself.
"This is a nice sort of ooeklo-shell to
be abroad iu the dark if tho water
gets sloppy. It would bo no easy job
to land here. I suppose if the storm
docs como down particularly heavy I
must take it as a judgment sent as
puuishmout for stealiug tho boat."
AU at once the trees on tho bank
set up a shrill whistlo of alarm, and
the woods on tho hills took up the
alKria and burst into a roar. The
chnunel of the river wax fille.l wifl.
barrier of wiud and rain, through
which, iu spite of Laugley's utmost
efforts, he could not press the sniff.

tho rain flung upon his neek, and felt
it run down his buck.
The banks were steep und almost
indiscernible. If the puut were
swamped it would go hard with him
He wus stroug uud heultuy ; only
twenty-seven ; full of life aud hope ;
ho was just beginning to seo u road
towards competency. Then there was
Kate there was Kate? there was his
Kate I No, no ; it would never do to
drown here.
But the boat was hulf full, tho banks
high aud dim, tho storm tremendous.
It looked as if he were to perish ufter
all!
By Jove, that gust had whirled the
punt's head rouud as if she wus a
cork ! Yet it would bo cruel as well as
ridiculous to dio here.
And still the tempest wus over
whelming ; tho water getting sloppy ;
the puut heavier deader aud deader.
